Bono and Ali in Lesotho - New Video at EDUN.ie!

[coemgen]

My impressions of the video:

1. It was terribily touching to see Bono holding the baby. That's what it's all about, folks. Helping the most vulnerable.

2. I've never heard Ali speak. Even her voice is beautiful. What an accent.

 

[bonocomet]

Yes! That was the first time I heard Ali's voice as well and I thought that too, very sweet voice.

Could someone email me a copy of the EDUN video?

My email is ultravioletlove_14@yahoo.com


Honestly, I'm extremely busy right now and simply don't have the time to register for YSI.


I would greatly appreciate your thoughtfulness.






Also, thanks to everyONE for your great response to this thread.


And thanks so much for your support of EDUN - especially these ONE tees.


The money that EDUN will donate from the sale of each tee to ALAFA, the organization that supports AIDS affected textile worker families in Lesotho, will go a long way to helping to stop extreme poverty in Lesotho.

It is very touching indeed, and also very uplifting.

*Checks Nordstroms again*

ah yes, it was the neckline I didn't like, on the women's T. I have the shoulders of a seasoned football player, thanks to my dad's genes and years of gymnastics. If I had nice collar bones, I'd get the ladies one.

yea I have the same problem... I can't even fit in women's tshirts... they nearly squeeze my arms off

I want the shirt Bono has too... pity they don't sell that!

 

[Bibien]

Thanks for the suggestion. Do you know once I get on the edun.ie page, what I click on next to find the videos?

Can't you see it? I can put it on youtube if you want?

After seeing Kassandras post, I went to Saks Off 5th being that it is only 10 min away this is what they had there.

The largest selection of Edun clothes for men I have seen anywhere. Jeans and shirts, new stuff and clearence items.

For women, they had a small section of new stuff for the winter sweaters & cords.

On clearence they had a whole bunch of only jeans on a few styles and sizes which went up to a 32.

I ended up getting one denim pair for 30 and a Black denim linen for 32.

Awesome! You got a deal! I have my t-shirt already... I ordered it from Nordstroms website.

 

[JCOSTER]

I have a dream....that someday when I get to meet Bono he could sign the black ones with gold and silver sharpies.......I've gone over the edge...

That's a great idea! I wonder what things people have made him sign, not obscene that is! I should search the forum ....it's probably been a topic here and discussed to death since I am kinda a newby!

In regards to the action alert that ONE has put out regarding the future uncertainty of AGOA (which has largely made these EDUN ONE and Music Rising tees available from Africa), I posted a response to the ONE blog yesterday which delineates my personal relationship to Lesotho and now, by extension, to EDUN's and ONE's activities in Lesotho.


You can check it out here (mine is the second response):

Thanks for the link Nightsong

Great thread Jamila

Thanks so much for your sincere words of support for this thread, sue4u2!


While I don't want to turn a thread in PLEBA into a socio-economic or political thread, I am glad that the topic of the future of Africa's textile and clothing workers were brought up here.

Because the issues that Bono and Ali work so hard on for Africa revolve around government policies like AGOA, it's hard to be thorough in covering this video and the launch of the new EDUN ONE tees without mentioning the links above.


Thanks again for everyONE's heartfelt participation in this GREAT thread!


For Bono and Ali and EDUN and ONE -

I'd invest in a t-shirt, I wish they had larger sizes.

 

[Galeongirl]

I'd invest in a t-shirt, I wish they had larger sizes.

just go for a men's tshirt they fit very well... I have a men's Large Edun Music Rising tshirt, and it fits me(I'm around 5'8"/5'9" and have broad shoulders, so I can't even wear women's shirts! they just don't fit!)

 

[Jamila]

Completely agree, Gg.

A man's tee can fit a woman as well as any other tee.

The important thing is to support the African families whose economic futures depend on the sale of these tees.


Hope this helps, Karen - I would really like to see you in one of these tees!
